Staten Island

You can make real, tangible changes to how streets and sidewalks function in Staten Island. The Staten Island Activist Committee chooses local campaigns and fights for changes on-the-ground in their neighborhoods, like bike lanes and new pedestrian plazas.

These are the campaigns the Staten Island Activist Committee chose for this year. Come to the next meeting to get involved in making these campaigns a success:

Committee History

Founded in 2009, the Staten Island Activist Committee has made big strides towards a safer, more pedestrian and bicycle friendly borough, and rallied a crew of concerned Staten Islanders ready to fight for critical changes needed on Staten Island streets. Following the hit-and-run death of bicyclist and Wagner College student Ronald “RJ” Tillman, the Staten Island Activist Committee partnered with the Grymes Hill and Wagner College communities to successfully fight for a lower speed limit, a new stoplight and a crosswalk painted near the campus to calm traffic. Transportation Alternatives' Staten Island activists also successfully advocated for the removal of a fence installed by a private enterprise that cut off pedestrian and bicycle access to the South Beach Greenway and a local playground.
